Specification of Letters Patent.

LUBRICATING DEVICE.

Patented June'as, 1921.

Application sied March 22, 1921. seriai No. 454,503.

To all whom t may concern i Be itV known that I, VLouis J ORDEN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented a new and useful improvement in Lubricating ADevices, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in lubricating devices for lubricating carpenters saws and the like, wherein a lubricant retainer is normally arranged to retain a suitable lubricant, such as a strip of fresh pork fat or the like, within a housing and operates in conjunction with means for eX- posing the said lubricant whereby the same Vmay be applied or dispensed to a saw or other tool blade, requiring lubrication, by

' attrition.

f A further .object of the invention is tov i `provide ka new and improved lubricating device for saws and the like having means for detachably retaining and dispensing a solid lubricant.

Another object is to provide a new and improved. device of the character described having improved means. for automatically preventing contact of the lubricant, when not in. use, with other articles or materials to prevent contamination or soiling of said lubricant as well as soiling of other adjacent articles, and also to provide avlubricating device which may be carriedwithina pocket of the-operator without soiling said pocket or said lubricant.

I accomplish. Athese and other objects by means of the improved device disclosed in thedrawings forming a part of the present specification wherein like characters of reference are used to vdesignate similar parts throughout the said Vspecification and drawings, and in which: i Y

Figure 1 is a plan view of'my improved lubricating device2 the same being disclosed in operative position.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view, partly broken, of Fig. 1.

Fig. Bis a view similar to Fig. 2 but disclosing'thepmanner in which the lubricant retainer is. detached for the purpose ofv renewing said lubricant.

Fig 4 is an 4enlarged transverse sectional view takenfon line 4--4 of Fig. 2 in the direction indicated; and

Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 5 5 of Fig. 2 in the direction indicated. Referring to thedrawings the numeral 1 is used to designate in general a hollow semicylindrical housing having a handle 2 longitudinally disposed upon one end thereof. Rotatably mounted within the 'housing l is what I term aldetachable `lubricant retainei1 3 beveled at one end as 4at 4 to `facilitate insertion of said end under a stirrup 6 of a transverse kmember 7 having a square shank 8 adapted for detachableengagement with a rotary member 9 mounted withinthe handle 2 and provided Awith a pinion 11 in mesh with a transversely.disposed rack 12,

in turn operatively connected to anopeiating or actuating arm 14 pivotally mounted upon the handle 2 as at 16` by means of which arm 14 said rack and pinion12andV 11 respectively, may be actuated to rotate said member V and the lubricant-retainer 3, detachably connected thereto, for the purpose hereinafter more fully4 set forth.

The opposite'end of theretainer 3 is provided with a reduced portion 17'whichis detachably connected by means of a spring member 18 to a second transverse member 19 also rotatably mounted lwithin the `opposite end of the housing 1 by means of `a suit.` able pin or trunnion 21.

A suitable spring 22 isA interposed between the arm 14 and the adjacent side of the handle 2 to normally retain the lubricant retainer 3 in an inoperative position, or ywith ber 7 to normally retain the lubricant rethe lubricant 23 outermost or to expose the same whereby it may be dispensed by attrition onto asaw bladel or the like, the arm 14 is depressed whichpoperates the rack 12, pinion 11 and member 9 with the square shank 8 detachably .inserted therein; and therebyf rotates the lubricant retainer 3 through approximately one-half Vof a revo- ',.lution yand exposes the lubricant 23 outermost or on the outside of the housing 1, the

pin 24 limiting the movement. 'The arm 14 isheld depressed to retain the lubricant in such exposed or dispensing position while the entire device is moved longitudinally over a saw blade or the'like with the lubricant 23 in contact therewith.;`

#Release ofthe arm 14 permits the spring 22 to acuate the Vseveral parts as hereinbetore mentioned and the retainer 3 is thus autol matically returned to normal or inoperative position with the lubricant 23 innermost or onthe inside ofthe retainer 3 .andy house.V
